Introduction
The persistent twitching of the lower right eyelid may be caused by physiological factors such as excessive eye use, lack of sleep, and pathological factors such as eyelid spasm, facial muscle spasm, conjunctivitis, and others. It can usually be treated through lifestyle adjustments, physical therapy, medication, and other methods. In daily life, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including proper eye use and appropriate exercise, is recommended.

Constant twitching of the lower eyelid under the right eye may be caused by physiological factors such as excessive eye use, lack of sleep, and pathological factors such as eyelid spasms, facial muscle spasms, conjunctivitis, etc. It can usually be treated by adjusting lifestyle habits, physical therapy, medication, and other methods. If abnormalities occur, timely medical attention is recommended. Specific analysis is as follows:

1. Eye strain: Prolonged staring at computer screens, mobile phones, or other electronic devices can easily lead to eye muscle fatigue, which in turn causes twitching of the lower eyelid. Reduce eye usage time, rest appropriately, and perform eye exercises to relieve eye fatigue.

2. Lack of sleep: Insufficient sleep leads to body fatigue, affecting the normal function of eye muscles, thus causing twitching of the lower eyelid. It is recommended to adjust the schedule, ensure adequate sleep time, and avoid staying up late.

3. Eyelid Spasm: This is a condition characterized by unexplained, involuntary spasms and twitching of muscles in the facial nerve region, possibly related to abnormal discharges of the facial nerve, causing persistent twitching of the lower eyelid, accompanied by eye discomfort, vision loss, etc. The main treatment method is physical therapy, such as warm compresses, massage, etc.

4. Facial Muscle Spasm: When the facial nerve is compressed or stimulated, facial muscle spasm may occur, manifesting as paroxysmal, irregular, varying degrees of twitching, which may affect the eye muscles, causing twitching of the lower eyelid. A more effective treatment is microvascular decompression, also known as microvascular decompression of the facial nerve root.

5. Conjunctivitis: Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva caused by microbial infection, external stimuli, allergic reactions, etc., which may irritate the eye muscles, leading to twitching of the lower eyelid, accompanied by symptoms such as eye congestion and increased secretions. Follow the doctor's instructions to use medications such as Olopatadine Hydrochloride Eye Drops, Emedastine Difumarate Eye Drops, Levofloxacin Hydrochloride Eye Drops for treatment.

In daily life, maintaining a healthy lifestyle including proper eye use, adequate sleep, balanced diet, moderate exercise, etc., is recommended to enhance physical fitness and immunity, reducing the occurrence of eye diseases.
